Toilet education
Continence
in schools
and toilet
provision
are growing
issues.
Research
has shown
that more
than half of
teachers
questioned
reported
seeing more children starting school with continence problems, yet
were unsure how to deal with it. Further, in a competition on the ideal
school, toilets were mentioned in almost every one of the 15,000
entries.
Improving school toilets, and particularly hygiene room provision, is a
cost-effective way of addressing the issues. Something is simple as
changing a conventional WC for a ‘wash and dry’ toilet will help
deliver consistent cleanliness after any little ‘accidents’, with optimum
privacy and independence for the child.
Clos-o-Mat is the market leader in the supply of assisted toileting,
which can be used as conventional WCs but also have built-in
douching and drying, to eliminate the need to wipe clean.

KI’s Postura+ helps transform Mosley Academy classroom into a
colourful, functional and child-friendly environment

With the help of KI Europe’s Postura+ chairs, educational furniture
specialists Incube Ltd designed the layout for a classroom in Mosley
Academy, a primary school located in Burton-On-Trent, Staffordshire,
which resulted in a colourful, functional and child-friendly environment.
Having worked with Incube in the past, Matthew Baxter, the Head teacher of
Mosley Academy, was keen to invite the company to create an eye-catching
furnishing scheme for a classroom in his new school.
It was crucial that the furniture would provide everything required for the sake of
practicality, as well as having an engaging and vibrant feel that would enhance the
school experience for the children and teachers alike. Using a newly developed
furniture range called Colourful Classrooms, which includes KI’s Postura+, Incube’s
highly experienced team was able to create a bright and stimulating space.
KI’s Postura+ chairs in Lime Zest, Grape Crush and Tangerine Fizz were chosen for
the project as they offer a bright, yet budget-friendly seating option from a trusted and recognised supplier. The chair’s stackability was also a
very appealing feature as it allows for versatile configurations in a multipurpose classroom.
Matthew Baxter comments: “The furniture has transformed our learning environment. Both the children and staff are desperate to work in the
newly-refurbished classroom.”
KI’s iconic Postura+ chair was the first one piece polypropylene chair introduced to the UK education market in 1996. With a 20-year warranty,
Postura+ remains the only one-piece poly chair that has been proven to outlast its warranty. The chair is ergonomically designed to promote
good posture and provide exceptional comfort. Injection moulded in the UK from 100% recyclable high impact-resistant polypropylene,
Postura+ is available in 16 standard colours.
KI Europe’s furniture helps the world’s leading organisations create happy, healthy, high performing working and learning spaces for their people.
Part of KI (Krueger International, Inc.), one of the world's largest independent furniture manufacturing groups, KI’s EMEA headquarters in Central
London is supported by an established network of manufacturing facilities and distribution partners across the UK, Europe and the Middle East.
